This book was very interesting to read, I must say. The plethora a source that the author was able to connect show the depth of his knowledge and passion to what he studied. However, with any history book that I've read, there are moment in the book where I don't find the topic interesting (i.e. the history of corn section). I really enjoyed his commentary when addressing other historian, very sassy. Overall, my interest is peaked in this topic and further studying/reading from me will be done.
